If you could only have one rod and reel what would they be?

[geoffmaynard]

If the Fishing Police knocked at the door and took away everything you have bar one rod and one reel, what would you choose to keep?

 

[Scott Whatmore]

My Shimano Technium Specialist and Shimano GTE Aero

 

[ravey]

Normark Micrlight 2000 and Shimano Stradic 2500

 

[Bluenose]

My Shimano Technium Specialist and......

.......... my stradic xgtm

 

[alan whittington]

My 12ft normark titan 2000 and my old shimano aero match 3's(even though i dont floatfish so much these days).

 

[bobbyf77]

My 1st edition Mitchell half bail arm and My grandads old allcocks rod

 

[Jeff Woodhouse]

My H-design Sulis 11ft 1½lb travel barbel rod that I can hide in my car in case they came back for that last one and my Shimano 5000B GTE reel.

But I'd take a few of them first with that catana!

 

[Cakey]

they would have to take my shotgun first...............:wh

 

[slime monster]

avon twin tip

thinking about it would not need it banged up

 

[Sean Meeghan]

My Fox 1.5lb Barbel Specialist and my Cardinal C4 reel. I suppose any 1.25lb to 1.5lb TC rod would do the business as the complete all rounder.

 

[Poshpaul (Angling Trust and PaSC)]

My Drennan Legermaster and one of my Shimano Exages

 

[quickcedo]

My 3 piece Prodogy 1.5lb and 1 of my pins (coz I'm an old romantic)

 

[jcp01]

The light Avon and the pin.

 

[Derek Gibson]

Medium weight Baitcaster and Multiplier, at a pinch could be pressed into service for species other than pike.

 

[Red Army]

Daiwa Spectrom M2 Match 13/15ft and Daiwa TDR 2508

 

[Keith M]

My Greys Prodigy Barbel rod and my 'Shimano Aero GTE 5000B' reel.

or Maybe

My Drennan MKIV Tench Float rod and my Okuma Sheffield centrepin (which as well as Tench can also be utilised for trotting for Barbel, Carp, Chub and even Silvers).

 

[Windy]

Fox Barbel special + Mitchell 310 Quartz pro..... for fishing.

For sentiment and the weight of memories attached the Bruce and Walker CTM13A my parents gave me as a complete surprise on my 14th birthday. Same reel

 

[Peter Jacobs]

Been giving this a lot of thought and finally decided:

Rod, 13' Carbotec No 2 Float rod as it can handle anything from small Dace up to large Barbel and mid-sized Carp/Pike etc.

Reel, Shimano Stradic 3000, again although a bit big for the smaller species perfect for Chub, Barbel etc.

That said, and to parphrase dear old Charlton Heston:









If you want my rods then you'll have to pry them from my cold dead hands!

 

[noknot]

A Cardinal 55 and a FibreTube 2.25 tc carp rod

 

[alan whittington]

My Fox 1.5lb Barbel Specialist and my Cardinal C4 reel. I suppose any 1.25lb to 1.5lb TC rod would do the business as the complete all rounder.

Sean,you mean to say you dont rate the 1.75lbs that everyone raves about,you will have the barbel police after you,especially if your not using 15lb line.
